In mid-1997 I began tinkering with Linux. Slackware, Debian,...
A mechanical engineer I was then working for told me that it was a dead
OS, merely my rebellion against Bill Gates and M$.
It really began, for me, as a way to at least approach the OS I was
introduced to on Sparc Stations.
I've got a lot to learn, but that is what I like about it, as well as
it's stability.
Pretty strong heart beat for a dead OS. HP, IBM, Oracle, Intel,
Informix....what do these guys know that I don't?
Regards,
Bob
